Eh, if you have a theory of history, if you make it constraining you'll be accused of being reductionist and unrealistic, if you make it loose you'll ...
There's actually a lot of capital N Nature in Being and Time. It's a name for a 'totality of entities' in a specific 'domain' - which tells us nothing...
To my mind the question of whether normativity is part of the essential constitution of Dasein for Heidegger of B&T is distinct from whether it's part...
The thread's clearly supposed to be about Heidegger exegesis and criticism, specifically about the relationship of his account in Being and Time to na...
Explicit analysis of social structure would be more similar to anthropology, which Heidegger takes care to distinguish the aims of his inquiry from. H...
"Ice cream is good" "That doctor is good" "That researcher is good" "That teacher is good" "That game is good" "Pleasure is good" "Knowledge is good" ...
A distinction I'd like to highlight is between experiential temporality and time. Heidegger's analysis in Being and Time links three fundamental aspec...
Sorry for not continuing with the exegesis, I've been busy IRL and sitting down to concentrate for the length of time required to understand what's go...
You can't divide by zero. Dividing by zero is just shorthand for the limit of a/b where b tends to 0. Whether a/b tends to infinity when b tends to ze...
Your reasoning's good, but the maths isn't there. Think you'd be able to prove P2 (and thus P3, which is just a restatement of P2) given that the link...
Well, because there are sensible ways to think of subsets of sets as having 0 size, that does go against parts (subsets) of wholes (sets) necessarily ...
Being unable to shave off parts of zero size is precisely the limitation I spoke about. You can shave off sets of zero size easy, say {x in except for...
The idea of chopping something into units requires a countable number of chops. You can half, quarter etc. The real line instead is an uncountable uni...
A part can have different sizes depending on its whole, assuming you allow this discussion to involve sets and elements of sets. EG, the number 1 has ...
First order logic is logic with quantification over variables. It's an expansion of propositional (or zeroth order) logic. It's been a while since I s...
They're the same thing, since propositional logic is complete and has the deduction theorem. You just have to be careful with what those iffs work lik...
Propositional and first order predicate logic both have the deduction metatheorem. They also have the property of completeness, so that semantic entai...
For 1 maybe something like: 1. ~(PvQ) 2. Assume P. 3. PvQ (2, disjunction introduction) 4. ~P (1,2,3, contradiction). Repeat for Q, though it might ju...
A held opinion is a belief, X knows that P iff X has a justified true belief that P is a reasonable approximation to knowledge that. There are ambigui...
The problem is we do see where you're coming from. You just don't see where we are coming from. Imagine yourself back in time before you attained your...
I read that as saying variable piece of a manifoldness might be a connected chunk of a manifoldness. But when we take 'a' variable piece of a manifold...
Survival without cooperation, ethics without normativity, morality without obligation, politics without groups, people without identities, freedom wit...
Hey, you're right, that's why people take up progressive politics. I'm going to stop responding to you now. If you take that as a victory, hurrah for ...
So you agree that disabled people organising together to push the introduction of disabled access ramps is fine? And that it secures their individual ...
That works. Your statement of the logic is imprecise though: you need to change: To your implication was the wrong way round, but you used it correctl...
It isn't a privilege to be able to access the shop. This is because non-disabled people have access to the shop. It's a limitation to be unable to acc...
The dog being in the box would be that we're already in a state of unregulated capitalism. The dog should be in the box would be that we should be in ...
The two claims are inequivalent. "There are only individuals" vs "politics (in some vague sense) should concern only individuals.". This is the same d...
I take silly ideas seriously all the time. That's part of why I enjoy philosophy and learning more generally. I would not have attempted to rebut your...
This isn't from the paper, it uses mostly external ideas to what's been presented in the paper so far. If I can make an analogy, imagine yourself as a...
This might be surprising but I didn't actually have Trump in mind while writing the OP. The alt right views him as a useful idiot, but his rhetoric al...
Some of you probably thought I was paranoid writing this, but I found this which is a much better example of the things I was talking about, it's an e...
Well I'm glad you're not that deluded, and being determined to succeed is usually a good thing, so grats. This idea that there are only individuals is...
